New Album: Brian Finch - Out of The Blue

After a year-long battle with lymphoma cancer Brian Finch passed away in May 2019. His passing marks the loss of a South African legend, whose music and lyrics inspired generations, from as early as the 1960s.

New Album: Griekwa Comet Choir Album

The Comet Choir, under the leadership of the Griqua Choral and Cultural Society, a collective of the Griekwa National Conference of South Africa, recently recorded an a cappella album of hymns. With the rising debate about nationalism and the skewed narrative of the indigenous peoples of South Africa the Griekwas are asserting themselves as amongst the first-nations people of South Africa. Their album is a rich tapestry of philological interpretations.
